Hello there!


Van Campen Inn

Old Mine Road

The Old Mine Road Historic District is found within the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area. I have been documenting the remaining structures left after the failed Tocks Island dam project.

Insane Asylums

What first drew me to Insane Asylums was the architecture - the buildings are just gorgeous! Then I delved into the history and became completely hooked on the stories each one held.

Farms and Gristmills

Another obsession I have are the farms and gristmills that dot the landscape throughout Sussex and Warren Counties, NJ. They signify the rich agricultural history of the area and still are very important to the local economy.

Nature and Wildlife

When I'm not exploring abandoned and historical places, you can find me in the woods, on a trail, or along lakes and rivers. With the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the need to take in nature's serenity becomes more important than ever - it's just good for the soul!

Beyond New Jersey

While I do love my home state, I lived in northern Virginia for 3 years. I have also traveled to and from Charlottesville, VA a number of times - documenting the stops I made along the way!
